This Monitoring Framework was developed as part of the joint UNECE–UNFPA project ‘Enhanced integration of population dynamics into development planning: follow-up to the ICPD in the UNECE region’. Its purpose is to facilitate continuous follow-up of the ICPD PoA as recommended by the Chair’s summary, providing a methodology and structure for monitoring regional as well as national progress periodically, systematically and consistently. It also aims to feed into the global reporting on progress in implementing the ICPD PoA and aligns with the monitoring of the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
